would hopelessly entangle the obdurate
heart of the old celibate. Ella Moran,
shrewd, quick witted daughter OF
Erin. became acquainted with the
fatherly Deutscher. She heard of his
wealth. and the sympathies of her
young heart won't out to the lonely old
man who had nothing to cheer him but
his gold. Pity is akin to love. and ere
long she made him declaration of her
passion, declaring he was her ideal Of
manly beauty and the incarnation of all
that is noble. The old man, unused to
tho ardent voca balary Of the divine
passion, shrank in astonishment, but
the Irish beauty was not to be put of
in such q manner. but pressed the suit
with NIL the pertinacity Of her sex and
the Establishments of hor race. The

poet fittingly expresses it, He first en-

marry her Immediately. She further
told him he must give her half Of bis

unread In the tenents Of American law,
the gallant old lover accepted the situa.

This is the ruling which regulates Easter,
called by the church the festival of the resur-
rection-or originally the festival of the Pass
over-the passover including the whole inter
val between the crucifxiSp of Christ and his
resurrection. Originally there was feast OF
the Lentonic goddess Ostera, the goddess of
spring whence comes our Anglo-Sa Saxon
EASTER.
The festival was introduced by preparatory
fasting Some tasted one day, some two,
some forty hours, that is the forty hours dur
ing which Jesus was supposed to have been
tenant of the tomb. Later the time was ex-
tended to forty days, in imitation of Christ's
fast of forty days in the Wilderness. Hence
came Lent, which, in its present form, en-
bracing a period of forty days, canpot be
traced back beyond the end of the sixth oerf
tury.
With the old, but not the eldest Christians
the resurrection was all in all-on it the truth
of Christianity rested. Christ rose, the van
quisher of death and HE'LL the first born from
the dead; the beginning of the new spiritual
creation. Light came out of darkness, as in
material creation. From night all things
came The festival was called the "salutary'
festival, the "kingly day." the "day of vic
tory" the "crown and head of all festivals. u
